Default I wish airbags were on the outside...

I have to leave The Raven(ous) One at the Logan airport parking lot for ten days. I'll go early to try and find a secluded, end-cap, parking spot, but next week is the 4th and all kinds of idiots will be in full swing - I'm so worried - ahhhhhhhhhh!!!

I'm fearful that some travel-monkey will ding him with a carelessly flung-open behemoth land-monster mobile doors; or suitcase laden carts will be envious of the perfection of his paint job and will try to scar him; or one of those insidious moveable luggage wheely things (which must be stowed in the overhead compartment for the duration of the flight, leaving pathways clear for...) will try to make "friends" with him....

I wish the car came with external airbags and idiot detectors... You know, a sensor that could smell approaching ***-munches and deploy some sort of protective shield... pepper spray would be an added bonus!!!

Arrrrggghhhhh!!!

If any of you fly out of terminal B, please go by and say hello and tell him I will be home shortly :-(

I have a cover, but aren't people more likely to mess with it (try to steal it) if covered?

I'd do the car cover thing. I don't think people will mess with it assuming youve got the cover locked.
